Title: Changing Splash Timing?
Post by: krylus on March 08, 2011, 04:28:02 PM
Does anyone know how to change the timing of infogrames.bmp, splash.bmp, and rating.bmp? Which/where python script/gib are they controlled by? Is it at the EXE level? Also, is there any way to change the time that the music comes on?

The splash screens appear when certain things have been loaded. If you wanted (for whatever reason) to prolong one of the screens, you would need to add a delay in whatever is being loaded at that time.

You can add a delay to the actual music by adding a short pause to the beginning of the mp3 file but other than that, it turns on as soon as it is loaded. Although I've never tried it, there might be a way of adding a temporary sound file to the music folder or playing a short sound file using a PY in the Arenas folder.

For music its easy if your creative enough..

The game will always load the tracks for the UI in alphabetical order so just stick a blank track in the folder named "aaaaa" or the like and have it run for as long as you like..
